1 Chapter Sectio. Itroductio to Limits Limits ad a Itroductio to Calculus Objective: I this lesso ou leared how to estimate limits ad use properties ad operatios of limits. Course Number Istructor Date I. The Limit Cocept ad Defiitio of Limit (Pages ) Defie limit. If f () becomes arbitraril close to a uique umber L as approaches c from either side, the limit of f () as approaches c is L. This is writte as lim f () = L. c How to use the defiitio of a limit to estimate limits Describe how to estimate the limit lim umericall. Let f () = ( )/( + ). The costruct a table that shows values of f () whe is close to. Use the table to look for a umerical tred i the value of f () as approaches. This is a estimate of the limit. The eistece or oeistece of f () whe = c has o bearig o the eistece of... the limit of f () as approaches c. II. Limits That Fail to Eist (Pages ) The limit of f () as c does ot eist if a of the followig coditios is true:. f () approaches a differet umber from the right side of c tha it approaches from the left side of c. How to determie whether limits of fuctios eist. f () icreases or decreases without boud as approaches c. 3. f () oscillates betwee two fied values as approaches c.

Dividig Out Techique (Pages 79 79) The validit of the dividig out techique stems from... the fact that if two fuctios agree at all but a sigle umber c, the must have idetical limit behavior at = c. How to use the dividig out techique to evaluate limits of fuctios The dividig out techique should be applied ol whe... direct substitutio produces 0 i both the umerator ad the deomiator. A idetermiate form is... the fractio 0/0 that results whe direct substitutio produces 0 i both the umerator ad the deomiator. It has o meaig as a real umber ad is called a idetermiate form because it is ot possible to determie the limit from the form aloe. Whe ou ecouter a idetermiate form b direct substitutio ito a ratioal fuctio, ou ca coclude... that the umerator ad deomiator must have a commo factor. Eample : Fid the followig limit: lim II. Ratioalizig Techique (Page 793) Aother wa to fid the limits of some fuctios is to first ratioalize the umerator. This is called the ratioalizig techique, which meas multiplig the umerator ad deomiator b the cojugate of the umerator.
